Before Neil Strauss transformed himself into his seductive alter-ego known as Style, he was just another nerd, cursed to deal with the frustration of singlehood.
Although he was already doing very well as a journalist (having written for publications such as the New York Times and Rolling Stone), he still had a long way to go in terms of attracting women.
Being a short, bald man who doesn’t look anything like a successful pickup artist, he sought to turn his dire situation around.
In his book “The Game”, Neil talks about how reinvented himself into the dating guru that he is today.
The great thing about Neil Strauss is that he doesn’t teach guys how to act like a phony. Rather, he focuses on specific ways to uncover the best version of yourself.
He believes that a man won’t be able to attract women if he doesn’t know how to show them what a great guy he is.
Indeed, there are a lot of frequently committed mistakes (many of which Neil has done himself) which keep a lot of men from getting more dates. Thus, much of his work is based on the simple fact that “being yourself” is often just an excuse to be lazy.
In many of the books and seminars he’s done, Neil Strauss talks about how his own experiences have taught him how to be a better man.
Like some the other dating gurus out there, much of Neil’s far-reaching success can be attributed to the Internet.
For instance, he has used online mailing lists to help bring his wide audience together under a common venue. He is also the creator of StyleLife, an online academy that has helped men around the world to knock women off their feet using revolutionary programs which feature the most effective techniques in the field.
Additionally, Neil Strauss often turned to forums and message board communities during his early days in order to learn from the experts. He was also able to hone his attraction-building skills by reading up on other men’s attempts to pick up women (commonly referred to as “field reports”).
Through his feverish research, he was able to cobble a body of knowledge that was further developed when he met an expert on seduction known as Mystery.
Initially, they shared a mentor-student relationship but that quickly changed. Seeing his potential, Mystery took him under his wing and wasted no time teaching Neil the secrets to attracting women.
In due time, he came into his own and was soon on equal footing with his former mentor.
As of today, Neil has garnered a huge following worldwide, thanks to his distinguished take on dating and relationships. Countless guys have immensely benefited from learning about Neil’s specific way to develop the self-confidence and rock-solid masculinity needed in dating.
To sum it up, I think that any guy who wants to stop going around in circles with women should give Neil Strauss a try. He’s created a revolution that has helped men – most of which are afraid to ask for help in the first place – to truly understand how to improve themselves from the inside and become more attractive.
